Eagle-eyed viewers of Colorado Buffaloes practice clips have noticed that offensive linemen such as Tyler Brown have played different positions on the line. This positional versatility is vital for coaches to know, but it can also help those players reach the next level.
Those clips also caught the eyes of Jake Schwanitz and Ryan Koenigsberg of DNVR Buffs, who recently discussed Brown on their YouTube show. Standing at 6-foot-3 and 310 pounds, Brown made a name for himself at Lousiana and Jackson State as a guard but is also capable of playing on the outside.
Schwanitz had the following to say about Brown’s NFL draft prospects:
“Tyler Brown, SWAC first-team, FCS All-American, and he was part of a line when he was at Lousiana that was up for the Joe Moore Award for one of the best offensive lines in the country,” Schwanitz said. “Tyler Brown’s got versatility in his bag. He’s been displaying it, but now he gets to display it further. This could be massive for his draft stock.”
During CU’s fall sports media day on Friday, Brown told Buffaloes Wire’s Jack Carlough the following:
“I feel comfortable anywhere and everywhere,” Brown told Buffaloes Wire. “I think that the best thing about me is I’m an athlete and I’m very versatile. Wherever the coach needs me to play I can play.”
